Acts 15:2

2 When Paul and Barnabas had a major argument and debate ^{▼▼ Grk “no little argument and debate” (an idiom).} with them, the church ^{▼▼ Grk “they”; the referent (the church, or the rest of the believers at Antioch) has been specified to avoid confusion with the Judaizers mentioned in the preceding clause.} appointed Paul and Barnabas and some others from among them to go up to meet with ^{▼▼ Grk “go up to,” but in this context a meeting is implied.} the apostles and elders in Jerusalem ^{▼▼ For location see Map5-B1; Map6-F3; Map7-E2; Map8-F2; Map10-B3; Journey of Paul map 1-F4; Journey of Paul map 2-F4; Journey of Paul map 3-F4; Journey of Paul map 4-F4.} about this point of disagreement. ^{▼▼ Or “point of controversy.” It is unclear whether this event parallels Gal 2:1–10 or that Gal 2 fits with Acts 11:30. More than likely Gal 2:1–10 is to be related to Acts 11:30.}
